Hi all,

I have a shopping cart based on the smarty template engine. My problem is that I seem to have problems running any custom php code within the cart...Even in the Header / Footer of the site.

Here's what I am trying to do: I want to use a <php include statement so I can count the # of visitors on each page of my site...Sounds simple right? Well, I tried and after running script, I don't get anything displayed on the page..<NADA, NOTHING, no errors whatsoever> I know for sure the scripts configuration is 100% correct. Just that php needs to be 'specially setup' within my cart due to the cart being 'wrapped up in the smarty template engine'...Someone please help!!! It's driving me mad, and preventing me to go any further...

Thank you in advance!

I have not used smarty but i do know that template engines require you to assign and then parse sections of your template page.

For instance.

assign('NAME', 'Me hello!');
parse('main.body.details');

Now i do not know what methods smarty uses to assign and parse i just know that it works in that style. So check out the smarty script and find where it does this for other vars then copy the style and run some tests.
